Richard Linklater's Before... trilogy makes Julie Dely a star. But what's not as well known is the fact that Delpy also co-wrote Before Sunset and Before Midnight. When it comes to the magic of movie romance, Delpy knows her stuff. That's what makes Lolo such a joy to watch. It has the raw emotion of her best work in other romantic films, as well as some daring comedy about the very idea of romance.
On holiday in the south of France, anxious Parisian Violette and her best friend Ariane obsess about love and sex while, at the same time, ridiculing them mercilessly. When Violette meets awkward small-towner Jean-René, she first keeps him at arm's length. But there's no denying his charm. "I'm sick of smartass Parisian guys messing with my head," she realizes. And off they go.
When she brings Jean-René back to Paris, things get more complicated. Violette's son, Lolo, has gotten used to being the only man in his mother's life. He launches an effective stealth campaign against Jean-René, undermining his mother's lover at every turn.
Her film soars on the strengths of its bold woman’s perspective on love, the sophistication of its dialogue, and the agility of its shifts from romantic comedy to wild, outrageous farce.
